Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) – The Research University in the
Helmholtz Association creates and imparts knowledge for the society and
the environment. It is our goal to make significant contributions to
mastering the global challenges of mankind in the fields of energy,
mobility, and information. For this, about 9,800 employees of KIT
cooperate in a broad range of disciplines in research, academic
education, and innovation.
The Division IV – Natural and Built Environment, Institute of
Meteorology and Climate Research Troposphere Research (IMKTRO), KIT
Department of Physics offers as soon as possible a permanent
*University Professorship (W3) “Experimental Meteorology“*
We are looking for you as an internationally recognized personality in
the field of Experimental Meteorology in the troposphere, in particular
ground-based and airborne field research. You have experience in the use
of state-of-the-art in-situ and remote sensing instruments (e.g. Eddy
Covariance systems, lidars, radars, microwave radiometers) in the
context of field campaigns, as well as in the area of data synthesis and
interpretation. Your experimental research enables collaboration in the
fields of modelling, model evaluation and data assimilation, e.g. by
contributing to the development of observation operators and
multi-platform retrievals.
IMKTRO works in the four research fields of (i) clouds and aerosols,
(ii) regional climate and climate change, (iii) weather and weather
forecasting and (iv) integrated field measurements. With the KITcube,
IMKTRO operates one of the world‘s most comprehensive mobile atmospheric
measurement systems, which has been used in numerous international
campaigns. In addition, KIT is a member of the development consortium of
the ICON model (with focus on aerosol and regional climate modelling)
and is in close research cooperation with the German Weather Service.
KIT offers an excellent interdisciplinary environment at the interface
between natural sciences and engineering. You will cooperate closely
with colleagues at the KIT Center for Climate and Environment and the
GRACE graduate school, and have a wide range of opportunities to
establish new collaborations at KIT and beyond. You will continue your
successful record of acquiring third-party funding, e.g. in
future-oriented topics such as the application of methods of artificial
intelligence. In addition, you will actively contribute to the Helmholtz
program „Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future“, particularly in the
framework of the new “Karlsruhe Integrated Atmospheric Observation
System (KIAOS)”.
The Full Professorship (W3) is part of the collegial leadership of the
Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research Troposphere Research
(IMKTRO). With a teaching obligation of 9 semester hours per week, you
will represent Experimental Meteorology in compulsory and elective
lectures and practicals of the degree programs „Meteorology and Climate
Physics (BSc/MSc, German/English)“. You will also be expected to
participate in academic self-administration.
A PhD in meteorology (alternatively in physics, environmental physics or
similar) and outstanding, internationally visible scientific
achievements (a German Habilitation or an equivalent qualification) are
required for employment. Experience in leadership and a high level of
didactic competence are expected.
Employment is subject to Art. 14, par. (2) of the KIT Act in conjunction
with Art. 47 LHG Baden-Württemberg (Act of Baden-Württemberg on
Universities and Colleges).
As a family-friendly university, KIT offers part-time employment, leaves
of absence, a dual career service, and coaching to support the work-life
balance.
We prefer to balance the number of employees (f/m/d). Therefore, we
kindly ask female applicants to apply for this job.
Recognized severely disabled persons will be preferred if they are
equally qualified.
Please mail your application with the usual documents (i.e. cover
letter, curriculum vitae, research concept, description of previous
teaching activities and teaching concept, equal opportunity and
diversity concept, as well as an overview of acquired third-party
funding and a publication list) until July 15, 2024 by using the vacancy
number 1211/2024 digitally as a single PDF file in English to Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology (KIT), KIT Division IV, Department of Physics,
76128 Karlsruhe, Germany, e-mail: dekanat@ physik.kit.edu. For further
information, please contact Prof. Dr. Thomas Leisner, e-mail:
